A Different Kind of Education Consultation

It is my goal to support families, educators, and school teams in providing an effective learning environment and positive school experience for every child. Over the course of my career in Special Education, I have worked in a variety of positions and have become an expert in several areas crucial for student success. Working outside of the classroom, I combine my skills as a Special Education Teacher, Instructional Coach, and Family Advocate to provide student- and family-centered Education Consultation. My unique set of skills, talents, and perspective gives me the ability to support students' individual needs while also supporting schools in improving their practices for all learners.

When a child is experiencing a challenge at school, I support families, educators, and school teams in truly understanding the child's needs; what interventions may be required; what adaptations to classroom and school practices may be needed; and in creating a concrete plan for how to implement these changes with consistency and effectiveness. 

Additionally, when schools are struggling to develop and maintain functional systems related to Coordination of Services Teams (COST), Student Success Teams (SST), 504 Plan Case Management, and IEP Meeting Coordination and Implementation, I support school and district administrators in transforming these processes into effective and sustainable systems with improved outcomes for students and educators.
